http://www.gutterman.net/blog/2006/03/new_paper_online_to_appear_in.html

(link from LinMagazine)

A copy of the paper:
http://eprint.iacr.org/2006/086.pdf
http://www.gutterman.net/publications/GuttermanPinkasReinman2006.pdf

A quick search did not provide any discussion of this up until Zvi
Gutterman's company published a press release on 1-May .
